Without proof and largely unconnected to what went before, you wrote:

"You're still in denial about putting your convenience above the
safety of others.

When asked to clarify it, you wrote:

"My definition of danger to pedestrians is that 3800 a year are
KSId by drivers. There can be no other metric."

There seems to be little sense to it.

You really can't see any connection between driving (which is a
convenience) and the number of casualties?

What does that have to do with your unfounded assertion that Nugent is
"putting [his] convenience above the safety of others"?


Sigh. For the hard of thinking.

It is a fact (not an unfounded assertion) that a car is a convenience
for the users (Nugent is no exception). It is a fact (not an unfounded
assertion) that vehicle users KSI 3800 pedestrians a year.

Whether you like it or not the two things are connected.


The connection is so tenuous that it strains credulity.


Cross an empty road. Do it again amongst moving traffic. Can you tell
the difference?

What's next? Are we making stabbings more likely because we own a kitchen
knife?


A stupid comparison. I know, you now want to ask why. Have a think about
it and don't bother.
